Answer» Total C.P = Rs 1800 Overall Profit = 15% of 1800 = 15*1800/100 = Rs 270 Total S.P = 1800 + 270 = Rs 2070 C.P of 2/5 oranges = 2/5 of 1800 = 720 Loss = 20% of 720 = Rs 144 S.P of 2/5 oranges = 720 - 144 = Rs 576 Now C.P of remaining 3/5 oranges = 1800 - 720 = Rs 1080S.P of 3/5 oranges = 2070 - 576 = Rs 1494 Profit = 1494 - 1080 = 414 Profit% = 414*100/1080 = 38.33% thanks |
